| Would you have believed stories like this when you were younger? Why or why not? |
I’m not shore if my sister told I wouldn’t believe it but if mum did that’s a different story but I believed in drop bears. |
Probably yes because I would have believed anything that someone told me when I was 5 and when you are 5 you don’t really know what is true and what is not true and if you have a brother or sister and you look up to them then you would probably believe anything they said. |
Yes, I would have because I believed nearly everything I heard. But some of the things I would have known about in the story, so some of it I wouldn’t have even believed! |
| Do the names of the animals make them more believable? Why or whynot? |
They doesn’t seem believable because the name are not like tiger or cows. |
Yes because you wouldn’t have ever heard them before and you would believe it more. |
Well, it really depends. If the text sounds believable the more you would want to believe it. Otherwise if it doesn’t sound too believable, I would not believe it. |
|
| Was the narrator’s family being mean in not telling him about the joke? |
No because they just were going along with the joke. |
Yes because you could tell people at school or your friends and they could laugh at you and tease you. |
Well, no not exactly. I mean the boy was at a young age at probably believed everything he heard when he was small. So maybe the joke was just for a little bit of fun! |
|
| How would you describe the relationship between the writer and his brother? |
I think it’s very good because he took his little brother without the little brother nagging and he wanted to take him. |
I think they had a great relationship like how they explored things together and how the younger one believed the older brother in everything. |
I think it would be a little interesting. It’s very obvious that the boy loves fantasy stories and gets sucked in and really appealed. |

probably yes but i wouldnt have beleived the tennis ball was an egg. |
I probably would’ve because I believed most things but I may have asked some questions and if the answers to the questions were believable for a 5 year old then I would’ve. |
Yes I would have but maybe not the tennis ball because I knew what that was. |
| Do the names of the animals make them more believable? Why or whynot? |
eoifliox was a bit but shockle bockle wasnt. |
When I was 5 I probably would have believed in the eoflifolox and shocklebockle, because their names sound like names that 5 year olds would like and I believed names like that when I was younger. |
No I would have learnt about it in preschool if it was real. |
| Was the narrator’s family being mean in not telling him about the joke? |
no they thought it was funny so the joined in. |
No, it would not harm him not to know and he may as well enjoy it, besides they may tell him when he was older. |
Sort of because the little one could have thought it was mean while the other would think that it was just a joke. |
| How would you describe the relationship between the writer and his brother? |
it must have been good cause the boy beleived his bro! |
Very good because they hang out together (Like when they went to the golf course) and the younger one looked up to the older one. |
They are really close to each other because the older brother tells the little brother about nature and all of this other stuff. |
